This is a sad day. I feel for you guys. I totally freaked the day before the ruling when it was leaked by the miami herald and I thought that boas would be on the list too... I own 2, so was just overwhelmed by loosing my plans to own different morphs, different locals... All that would be taken away. Although I am glad that boas were not added, I hate to see any species added to this monstrosity,
I am in no position to give anyone advice, but if I were in your shoes, and wanting to breed, I would acquire any animals with genes that you want to use before the ban takes effect... Maybe network with other keepers in your state and see what genes they have so that you can preserve those in your state.
This is horrible and is an injustice to good people that just want to enjoy their hobby... Typical of a government that is too centralized and too big... They need to invent more problems as justification for growing larger and getting more funds and care nothing about the lives of those they have to trample on the way. This is not the US of the past.
I hope USARK is successful... For your sake and for every keeper of every species out there. I am so sorry this has happened.
